The Springfield 30-40 Krag rifle was used in the Spanish American War. Today, they are worth quite a bit, depending upon condition.
Without the rifle in my hands, I would think that field stripping it would be similar to either the Model 1893 and 1898 Mausers or the Springfield of 1903 (several models). There is not much to field strip unless you are trying to get the door off where you load the rifle. One of the good points of all four models of guns, the two Mausers, the Krag and the Springfield was that they might get dirty in the barrel, but there were few moving parts, unlike the M1, M14, and M16, which are far more complex. I can't speak for the M16, but the M1 and M14 are gas operated where the expanding gasses opened the bolt for pushing in the next round. I don't know if the M16 is gas operated or recoil operated.
The only difficulty in working with the bolt rifles is attempting to take the bolt apart, and I, even having a Mauser, have never had to do that.
